Kid Icarus

'Sunderland till I die'

I've said it before, Hope doing our bidding against Bruce masked the fact that he's a bit of a slimey arsehole imo.

I've seen Murphy have a really good 20 or so minutes vs a tired Ashley Young vs Villa and against 10 men Fulham, and that's it.

Don't see how you'd see he can't play at any level like, that's mad. Even then, less so than Murphy? I thought he looked okay at the back end of last season tbh. Pressed well, scored and assisted at both RW and LW.

Tbf, I've never really understood why he's always, always behind Jacob Murphy in the pecking order. He's lost a yard of pace and I know Murphy's a bit of a cheerleader, but Fraser's a much better player.

Just like 90s AC'd Nissan at the Shan Seyro

Gomez was very, very good at one point and was playing rightly playing ahead of Matip, but inevitably got injured again.

It's hardly a remarkable turnaround like, they're Real Madrid and Liverpool aren't very good.

This Gomez performance is unreal

I liked Liverpool when they played good football. Weirdly that feels like such a long time ago now.

Pahahahahaha!

I'm annoyed that we didn't beat them despite only having 10 men and somehow being 2 down, they're really not all that.

I think it's more like that now tbh, I reckon the naively dicking around at the back reached its peak a few years ago.

Class half. Say what you want about the Champions League, the football in the kick out stages rarely disappoints.

Trent's long passing is honestly absolutely ridiculous like. On the same level as Beckham really

They played classic Tom and Jerry and the (really good) 90s animated Batman as well IIRC.

Remember when we got compensated for Palace taking Pardew off our hands?

Wew. Is it fucking contagious or something?

Gakpo has a very similar running style and slender frame to Isak.

Not good. Very not good.

It's not really about raising awareness with the proper channels. They know exactly what MBS is all about, co-sign on it, and we wouldn't even know about it or be talking about it if a letter was presented to them - you may as well present it to the bin. It's about raising public awareness. Howe's as powerless to change anything as the rest of us, but he chose to take the job and these kind of PR stunts are likely to be the price on the ticket every now and again. Whether these things are productive or counterproductive overall is up for debate like - I'd probably say they're counterproductive with our fanbase, but productive outside of the fanbase. Either way I'm hardly going to get on my high horse about the act of someone giving a letter to Howe while simultaneously ignoring all of the heinous shit contained in the letter itself, the stuff that's the root cause, to blame, and the driving factor in all of it. It's a pretty strong case of don't shoot the messenger.

It's mad like, does anyone know if the club gets any kind of per-game extra payment or is the TV money shared throughout the PL teams equally?

Don't think I've ever been this apprehensive over a football match. My heart keeps pounding as if kick off's minutes away but I've still got 5 days to wait ffs.

Collina's reputation preceded him like, he was absolutely shocking towards the end of his career.
